Out of interest, what does the "great track record" refer to? The security has historically been consistently horrific, the performance has historically been consistently horrific, the consistency of the language has been consistently horrific, the development of the language has been consistently horrific...

They do have a great track record at being consistently horrific...

Osama's wife: Do you always look at it encoded?

Osama: Well you have to. There's way too much information to decode the movie in realtime. You get used to it. I...I don't even see the blonde, brunette, and red-head. All I see is our nefarious plots. Hey, you uh... want a drink?

Can I suggest the sub-site SlashBiCurious, since some of us aren't really into BI but want to know more about it.

Why would God want a nearly worthless, over priced and over hyped piece of tech? Disclaimer: this was typed on an iPad.

Because the Samsung clone of it isn't out yet.

There is an injunction against samsung importing tablets into heaven.

Oh hell no! Not only does my car NOT have a black box - since it's a '68 without electronic ignition I'll still be driving while all you fools with new cars are stranded after a atmospheric nuclear blast.

I have a bicycle, so I laugh at your post-apocalyptic dependence on fossil fuels.

Since, you know, I'm a farmer, doctor, engineer, and marksman. Also my bike doesn't require lubricant or tires for some reason.

Re:The most important lesson in life being taught

Who's right doesn't matter, who has the power does!

Yes, but kiddies also need to be taught that it *ought* to work that way.

Otherwise some of them will get uppity later in life.

Then they'll end up posting on slashdot all the time.. we can't have that.

Non-sense!
by Anonymous Coward

Actually, the expertsare divided on whether IPv4 addresses will be exhaused. There may be many more addresses hidden out there. Before this is properly investigated it is too early to take action on IPv4 exhaustion. The idea that addresses are running out is only scare-mongering spread by the left-wing media. We should focus more on the controversy and less on IPv6 support.

Re:Mac's don't get malware

by fustakrakich (1673220)

From Mac's website: "A Mac isn’t susceptible to the thousands of viruses plaguing Windows-based computers. That’s thanks to built-in defenses in OS X Lion that keep you safe, without any work on your part."

1) No shit a Mac isn't susceptible to PC viruses. PC's aren't susceptible to Mac-only malware either
2) In this case, my car isn't susceptible to Windows-based viruses thanks to built-in defenses of it's windshield. Viruses weren't written for my windshield, so that counts as a built-in defense, right?

Yes, but debugging your windshield is still necessary every once in a while

When did not having the absolute most-powerful military become a disaster for the U.S.?

Right around the time we decided it was our job to put our fingers into every country's business and to hell with what anyone else thought.

Enigma Systems Services. This is Hans, how may I help you?

Hello Günther!

Oh yes, I understand. Not to worry though, I think we can find a solution.
First, would you be so kind as to look underneath your Enigma device for your serial number..
Yes.
Should be like a swastika circle with the Eagle above.
'Nazi Inside', right, that's the one!
Now, there's a number right next to it after S/N, could you read it up to me, Günther?

Thanks, let me just look you up in the filing cabinet here... Ah!I can see you're a premium member. Still under Third Reich warranty!

Okay. Now. Did you spill any beverage on the Enigma?
No? No coffee or tea?
Happens a lot on our U-boats.
